Dreiser, Theodore. JENNIE GERHARDT. Harpers 1911. Made into 1933 Pre-Code Film

Description: Dreiser, Theodore. Jennie Gerhardt. 8vo patterned blue cloth. NY: Harpers, 1911. First edition; frontispiece; pp 433. The binding is in the earliest state, and the text with the typo at page 22 line 30 corrected is in the second state. Since the first and second bindings often show texts in both states, it is unclear exactly how early this copy is, but it is early, nevertheless. The covers are slightly cocked, and a trifle used, but a very good copy all in all. Jennie Gerhardt is a destitute young woman. While working in a hotel in Columbus Ohio. Jennie meets George Brander, a United States Senator, who becomes infatuated with her. He helps her family and declares his wish to marry her. Jennie, grateful for his benevolence, agrees to sleep with him. He dies before they marry, and Jennie is pregnant. Made into a 1933 pre-code film starring Sylvia Sidney.
